Well since he's a draft dodger who thinks they're all losers and suckers its probably for the best he's not saying anything today.So here, on a day of reverence for our fallen soldiers, one can depend on the President to put forth a serious, sobering message about the value of sacrifice and respecting those who put their lives on the line for our country.
Ha ha ha no.
Donald Trump attacks judges in all-caps Memorial Day message: "MONSTERS"
President Donald Trump has accused federal judges of wanting the U.S. to "go to hell."
We have always have a tariff on Eastasia.
I'm guessing sound and fury signifying nothing.
Already called it, #4,759.
Trump says he'll delay a threatened 50% tariff on the European Union until July
President Donald Trump says the U.S. will delay implementation of a 50% tariff on goods from the European Union from June 1 until July 9 to buy time for negotiations with the bloc.apnews.com
Man he folded even faster this time around, didn't even implement it.
There's something incredibly mediocre about BIll Maher. He comes across as not that smart, or funny, or witty, or insightful: second best at everything. He talks politics, but none of it is exciting, fresh, interesting. It's like he's just a Democrat with some stereotypically Republican views or vice versa, in the most uninteresting way imaginable such that him being "controversial" manages also to be boringly safe. And then he comes across as a man who courts this boring controversy as a way of generating attention, whilst failing to seriously challenge anything. He is surely the comedian made for the vapid, "but both sides" moderates: people who think they are clever and practical, but are more likely to just be useful idiots.
But he's right...
And people still believe the news today and that was written about 30 years back.Speaking of Harvard, they probably wouldn’t dare be associated with this type of piece anymore -
Why the News Is Not the Truth
Both the media and the government thrive on crises. When none exist, they create them.
D'you have any follow up on this, now that we have a bill cutting federal medicaid funds for 14 states by 10 percentage points, & imposing work requirements?
Probably about as much follow-up as he'd have were it pointed out health care FWA is actually a miniscule problem in the big scheme of things -- reputable sources claim it's 3% and right-wing think tanks claim it's 10% -- and the majority of it is committed by the provider to line their own pockets, not the recipient of care.
Ah, but does that make Biden worse than the Emperor Justinian? Who, as we all recall, as recounted by Procopius, killed ten thousand times ten thousand times ten thousand people. 1/21 of the amount Biden let into the US, but murder is often seen as worse than border crossings.
I don't think Trump believes that himself.
If he stops sabotaging the Ukraine and lets the support congress agreed to continue, that is already a big step forward.
The first part doesn't change rules for either eligibility or coverage for anyone, it forces states to either stop sponsoring health insurance for "undocumented" (hard to say that with a straight face when they're enrolled in state insurance) peoples, or cover to funding gap themselves, which they probably do. The punishment falls to the taxpayers, not the beneficiaries.
A Medicaid funding cut is a Medicaid funding cut; the amount of money those states have to cover all services, for undocumented and others alike, goes down. The government can justify how it chose which states' funding to cut, but in those states, the funding from which all Medicaid services draw is still cut.
Seems odd to paint this as an attempt to weed out people with "questionable diagnoses", since the work requirement is aimed at those without a medical exemption. Someone's out of work due to redundancy or what-have-you, someone's out of medical care.
What there are a hell of a lot of, are underemployed people who won't qualify under this proposal but don't get insurance through their employer.
Hey now, you very clearly argued in the other thread that the moral culpability for a retaliation rests solely on the one doing the retaliating, not the one whose action is retaliated against. You even argued that moral actors should disregard the severity of any retaliation that may come against them and others.
